I suggest you start with something a little smaller like ahhh???.... mtr...
ya
http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/
and get
wget ftp://ftp.bitwizard.nl/mtr/mtr-0.42.tar.gz
and then
tar -zxpvf mtr-0.42.tar.gz
Read the entire INSTALL and README files....

Then when you recompile it you will want to configure it to put things in
the same place with the same options.  or you can go to the traditional/std
way the MySql installs without some of the kool things cobalt put in their
package.
